Our commitment to excellence in product performance and customer service has established us as the preferred partner in the industry. Join us on a journey through our rich history, highlighting the key moments that have defined our growth and success.
Fast-forward to 1992, and Unique Polymer Systems was born. Our family-run business was founded by Robin Pettigrew and has been specialising in engineering repair composites and high-performance protective coatings for over three decades.
Unique Polymer Systems was founded by Robin Pettigrew, who had a background in the supply of mechanical seals, gaskets, and sealing devices within the fluid flow industry. His extensive experience and network enabled him to establish Unique Polymer Systems, setting the stage for future success.
On June 30, 1992, Unique Polymer Systems was officially established. The initial team was appointed, and supply chain networks were set into place. UPS began its journey to becoming a globally recognized supplier of high-performance epoxy composites and protective coatings.
We started specialising in the emergency repair of leaking pipes and vessels, supplying corrosion resistance coating for all types of substrates and in most applications, such as tanks floors, roofs, infrastructure or providing composite elastomer repairs to conveyor belts.
During the economic downturn, companies aimed to reduce production costs and enhance competitiveness. Our "Repair Don’t Replace" ethos was established to support businesses on their journey, promoting cost-effective solutions and enhancing the longevity of their equipment.
In 2010, we embraced innovative engineering products to enhance and protect original equipment, improving performance and extending service life. We specialized in emergency repairs of leaking pipes and vessels, supplying corrosion-resistant coatings for various substrates, including tank floors, roofs, infrastructure, and composite elastomer repairs for conveyor belts.
In 2018, we modernized our logo and website to reflect the evolving times. Our core branding and ethos, "Repair Don’t Replace," remained central to our values of innovation, rebuilding, and enhancement. We continued researching new products and solutions to help reduce maintenance budgets and extend the service life of equipment and structures.
Today, we are the leading supplier of high-performance epoxy and polyurethane composites, capable of distributing and supporting businesses across North and South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Thank you for exploring the history of Unique Polymer Systems. We are proud of our journey and excited about the future. Together with our global customer base, we will continue to achieve great things.
